Serie A 1987-88 team distribution

Teams[]

Pescara, Pisa and Cesena had been promoted from Serie B.

Season summary[]

The summer of 1987 brought notable players into the Italian championship: Vincenzo Scifo (for Internazionale), Ian Rush (Juventus), Ruud Gullit and Marco van Basten (Milan).[1] Napoli started better than rivals, leading the group after five matches.[2] Inter and Juventus, in fact, had several issues.[3]

The reigning champions retained top-place in autumn and winter,[4][5] not meeting obstacles.[6] In spring Napoli, however, got a slower step:[7] helping Milan's comeback, with the Rossoneri able to recover a good number of points.[8] Their head-to-head match, played on 1 May 1988, smiled to the Northern side that reported a 3–2 win.[9] Milan then got just two points but Napoli did even worse, losing both matches.[10] It led to Milan's 11th title and its first since 1979.[11] This season was the last with 16 teams playing, as two relegations and four promotions from Serie B caused, starting 1988��89, the presence of 18 clubs.
